Remember Dave K, this post is "Top 5 Places to Learn Kiteboarding in 2010". Not just the top five places to kite. Although since you mentioned it, if I was choosing where to "move", I would choose OBX too b/c the winter Texan community in SPI is just weird and lame. OBX has a lot cooler people. But,...

Just in time for the holidays!!

Any idea on cost/budget for the 14 days to cover support, transport, food required for each participant?

What is the total amount of time you are devoting to the 400km trip? Are you going to be using a speed/distance board or will you be on a twintip, taking your time to stop and play along the way? I am interested.
